Anyone who owns a record collection that is from the 1960s most likely possesses a few works designed by this famous graphic designer. His widely-known work is known to millions of people, even if his name isn't, but does this mean it is to be considered art? The graphic designer doesn't care for this topic.

He'd rather we just didn't use the word 'art'. In a recent interview, the designer said we could all benefit from removing the word 'art' and replacing it with the word 'work' .

If a work proves to be very, very good, we can then refer to it as a great work. If the work fails to meet its mark, we can call it bad; we'll call it good when it achieves the goal.

Sometimes called the Picasso of design, he once featured an exhibit that traced his wanderings through life. Blazing, red nylon rope connected his work to its origins, showing the process drawings and beginning sketches.

One well-known trade center sports the designs he created for the observation deck and the restaurants housed there; it even has a permanent exhibition. The international AIDS symbol and poster, as well as the design of a supermarket chain, can be attributed to him. He enjoys this variety, and likes to see how far he can stretch the rules.

A simple poster of a famous male singer, one of his most notable works, has printed more than six million copies. The work shows the singer with very colorful hair, and the profile was inspired by another well-known artist.

According to the artist, the majority of people think he must have been on drugs when he created this work. Naturally, he says he has never been involved in drug usage. Adults can enjoy his work when visiting a playground he created just for them; he also made a children's play area.
